"According to the intelligence, the personal guard fleet of Emperor Xiaolong of the Xiaolong Interstellar Empire consists of only three thousand interstellar warships."

In other words, the interstellar fleet blocking our way only has three thousand interstellar warships! The Drought Demon King found it hard to believe.

“Yes...yes,” the subordinate replied.

Three thousand interstellar warships blocked the path of one hundred thousand interstellar warships.

If this were told to others, probably not many people would believe it.

"Is the Emperor of the Dragons really that arrogant?"

"Trying to block our 100,000 interstellar ships with only 3,000." The Drought Demon King's first reaction wasn't sarcasm, but rather a thoughtful expression.

The subordinate replied, "According to the records of this Imperial Guard fleet, this fleet only has three thousand interstellar warships."

But they were all T6 and T5 level interstellar warships.

Furthermore, T6-class interstellar warships make up a significant proportion of the fleet.

It is estimated that the number is at least around one hundred.

The Drought Demon King snorted coldly: "One hundred ships? My Drought Demon King Legion fleet still has a thousand T6-class interstellar warships."

He paused, then muttered to himself, "I know that our starships are not as good as the enemy's Dragon-class starships in the same class."

They have a complete range of ship types.

But no matter how strong, how excellent, or how high the combat quality of a single interstellar warship is.

With only three thousand interstellar warships, you think you can deal with my one hundred thousand interstellar warships?

This Emperor Dragon is really looking down on us!

Something's not right, this is very wrong.

The drought demon king wore a cautious expression.

"You mean, this is a trap?" the subordinate guessed.

"Most likely so," the Drought Demon King muttered to himself.

"Then what do we do?"

"Stop here and summon other legions and fleets to come and support us?" Before the subordinate could finish speaking, the Drought Demon King kicked him in the chest.

Then he yelled, "Call for backup?"

You probably want to embarrass me even more than that troll guy.

Facing three thousand interstellar warships on the other side, we have one hundred thousand interstellar warships.

And this is on my own turf, why do I need to seek support?

If word gets out, where will I put my face?

The subordinate, who had been kicked to the ground, dared not show any resentment. He immediately stood up and cautiously asked, "So, what should we do next?"

The Drought Demon King pondered for a moment, rubbing his chin with his fingers, and said, "Assuming that Emperor Xiaolong's three thousand interstellar warships are actually bait..."

How many interstellar warships do they have left to mobilize?

...

Shadow Hunter Ace Fleet?

That interstellar fleet with stealth bombers?

It must be them!

"This fleet might have been the one that attacked our stargate before," the subordinate immediately said.

"Do you have any data or information about this Shadow Hunter ace fleet?"

"How many interstellar warships do they have?" the Drought Demon King immediately inquired.

The subordinate immediately retrieved the information: "In the first battle before..."

The Shadow Hunter ace fleet is estimated to have around 60,000 active interstellar warships.

However, the current fleet includes a large number of T4-class starships, with the remainder being T5 and a small number of T6-class starships.

"Sixty thousand ships..."

They are also equipped with T4-level interstellar warships. The Drought Demon King pondered for a moment, calculating the comparison of the two sides' troop strength and combat power.

After some thought, the drought demon king said in a deep voice, "We cannot let our guard down."

Those guys from the Dragon Empire are incredibly cunning.

The enemy must have made some preparations, most likely including an ambush.

However, there is also the Emperor's Royal Guard fleet on the other side, and that Emperor Dragon is also here.

If we can destroy that Dragon Emperor starship and kill that Dragon Emperor.

That would be a huge gain for us.

According to information obtained from the Dragon Star Empire.

This Emperor of the Dragons possessed terrifying talent, having participated in almost all the design and construction work of the Dragon series of interstellar warships.

Even without the existence of this Dragon Emperor, there would be no need for our intervention.

The Dragon Star Empire will also disintegrate in a short period of time.

Therefore, if we can seize this opportunity, we can kill this Dragon Emperor directly.

That's more important than winning a major battle and destroying millions of enemy interstellar ships.

The words of the Drought Demon King have essentially sealed the course of events.

That means even if it's a trap, they have to walk right into it.

For no other reason than the presence of that tyrannical emperor.

In the eyes of the Drought Demon King, that Dragon Emperor was a delicious prey.

"Pass on my order: the Drought Demon King's fleet shall form battle formation and continue sailing forward."

But remember, during the voyage, whether you are in front of, to the side of, or even behind the fleet.

We must all maintain the highest level of vigilance.

The enemy could launch an attack from any direction at any time.

"At the same time, activate all anti-stealth equipment. The enemy should have a large number of interstellar stealth bombers, and may even have deployed interstellar bombs and other equipment in our shipping lanes," the Drought Demon King said solemnly.

He wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by, but he also wouldn't be arrogant and unprepared.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "At the same time, contact the garrison fleets of some legions in the surrounding star systems and have them prepare for battle."

"Once ordered, we will immediately come to provide support."

Upon hearing this arrangement, his subordinate asked in bewilderment, "If we need their support, why not send them out now?"

The Drought Demon King said in a deep voice, "Because up to now, we still cannot confirm the purpose of the opposing Dragon Emperor and his group."

They might be targeting us, but it could also be a feint.

They will use themselves as bait to lure us into mobilizing our surrounding interstellar fleets to provide support, and then seize the opportunity to attack the surrounding star systems.

The subordinate suddenly realized what was happening and immediately began to carry out the task as instructed by the Drought Demon King.

Meanwhile, the Drought Demon King's fleet continued its voyage, and soon the opposing Imperial Guard fleet appeared on the starship's radar.

Three thousand interstellar warships formed a perfectly aligned defensive formation.

All of them were T5 and T6 level interstellar warships.

At the same time, the T6 Dragon Emperor interstellar command ship can be clearly seen in the middle of these three thousand interstellar warships.

"I want to see what kind of medicine you, the Emperor of the Dragon, are really up to."

"If you want to use yourself as bait, then don't blame me for eating you up!" the Drought Demon King muttered coldly.

He then issued the order directly: "Fleet forward, prepare to launch a frontal attack on the enemy's starfleet."

Show no mercy and destroy the enemy's interstellar warships at all costs.

Meanwhile, interstellar warships in other directions prepared for battle.

"yes."

The approximately ten thousand interstellar warships at the forefront of the Drought Demon King's fleet began to break away from the main fleet formation and launch an attack on the three thousand Falcon Dragon interstellar warships in front.

...

Dragon Emperor Star Command Ship - Bridge

Zhao Chen looked at this scene on the interstellar war sand table, where there were some circles that appeared and disappeared, like some kind of radar scanning equipment.

"The enemy is very well prepared."

They did not launch an attack blindly just because they discovered that our Imperial Guard fleet was here.

Instead, they only dispatched 10,000 interstellar warships as the vanguard, with the remaining 90,000 interstellar warships following behind, while maintaining their battle formation.

"And the anti-stealth device is always on," Lilith said from the side.

"The enemy's anti-stealth equipment is fully activated."

"Our interstellar stealth bomber will be detected by the enemy once it enters this range, making it impossible to achieve its surprise attack objective," Zhao Wan'er said on the other end of the video window, but the expression on her face did not change much.

It was as if they had anticipated this situation.

Zhao Chen crossed his arms, looked at the interstellar war sand table, and said calmly, "After all, he is a monarch, so he still has some combat skills."

If we attack blindly, like a fool, then we are not three kings.

Wan'er, just follow the tactical plan you devised earlier.

I will arrange for interstellar warships to cooperate with you.

“Okay.” Zhao Wan’er nodded emphatically.

Zhao Chen looked at Xiong Xiangxiang across the video window next to him: "Are you ready?"

Don't worry.

"Our Imperial Guard Fleet is not to be trifled with," Xiong Xiangxiang said confidently.

Zhao Chen smiled slightly, looking at the enemy's super flagship opposite him.

Quasi-T7 Drought Demon King-class heavy strategic interplanetary destroyer.

"The Drought Demon King, I'd like to see him."

"Which is stronger, your near-T7 level interstellar warship or mine?" Zhao Chen said, waving his hand slightly to issue the order.

Soon, five halos appeared around the battlefield.

The appearance of these five halos could not possibly be hidden from the opposing Drought Demon King's fleet.

The Drought Demon King also saw the five halos surrounding his Drought Demon King Legion fleet, which were clearly aimed at him.

"This seems to be some kind of space jump technology."

"My lord, shall we attack?" The subordinate looked at the Drought Demon King.

The Drought Demon King calmly said, "Don't panic. The enemy had an ambush, which was expected. It's perfectly normal."

"Let the attacking forces continue their advance. Even if thousands of enemy troops appear ahead, continue the attack unless I give the order."

"yes."

The drought demon king stared at the five halos in the video window.

He was quite curious to see what kind of trump card Emperor Xiaolong had left behind behind those five halos.

What makes him so confident that he dares to venture into this dangerous place alone?

Is he really that confident that he can be safe here?

It's important to understand that his status and importance in the Dragon Star Empire are completely different.

Soon, the outline of a colossal creature appeared in each of the five apertures.
